Mission Statement
The SOTAbots' mission is to create and sustain a cohesive student-led High-school FRC Team that embodies Gracious Professionalism® and values individual diversity and collaboration all the while connecting with our community. Our team uses our robot and student passion to inspire an enthusiastic appreciation of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math or STEAM, through local outreach by ways of educational programming throughout Tacoma. We want to share our passion for STEAM with all ages, and show our community that careers in STEAM fields are attainable, desirable, and vital by "encouraging more of today’s youth to become science and technology leaders". We strive to spark a passion for STEAM in underserved youth communities in Tacoma.
